Predicting Fractures - Multi-faceted methodological approaches in exploring the associations between trajectories in bone mineral density and risk of major osteoporotic fractures

Project: PhD Project

Project Details

Description

Ph.d. project that explores the development of machine learning and artificial intelligence methods for modelling of changes in bone mineral density over time for individuals over 50. The primary data source is nationally pooled DXA scans in the time period 2005 to 2023, for all individuals who were at least 50 years on 1.1.2010.

The dataset is enriched with a range of laboratory analyses, including bone turnover markers. The dataset is also enriched with national registry data from Statistics Denmark.

The purpose of the project is to explore the possibilities of modelling BMD trajectories for enhanced prediction of identifying individuals at risk of osteoporotic fractures.
